Archaeologists are coming to dig at Pontefract Castle and you can take part! Bring your family to Dig Camp for the chance to make an ancient discovery together.

Archaeology isn’t just for adults! We’re inviting families with children aged 6-11 to join the dig team team, and become Junior Archaeologists for the day!

Bring your family to Dig Camp and you’ll get to spend the day doing archaeology with DigVentures together. You’ll get to look for clues in the trenches to see what you can find. We’ll then have an Archaeologists’ Picnic, before heading to the Finds Lab where you’ll be able to piece together your evidence and learn more about the people of Pontefract Castle.
